Abstract:

Depending upon the diametrically opposed views of interpreting the sacred text, religion, which is an increasingly vital and shaping force in both personal and public life, can promote either global peace or pervasive conflict. Therefore, peace among nations cannot be achieved without peace among religions. The Sword Verse in the Qur’ān (9:5) is assumed to have abrogated numerous verses that advocate peaceful coexistence and religious freedom. Accordingly, Muslim extremists take this verse as the foundation on which to interact with people of other faiths. Adopting the contextual approach, this essay explores how the verse is understood by analyzing its historical circumstance and linguistic settings and compares its correct meaning with other verses of religious freedom and dialogue. It concludes that the above verse, when appropriately read within its circumstantial boundaries, never condones coercive conversion or militancy. Turning a blind eye to the context as a guiding methodological tool is an error that at times has serious implications for intrahuman relations, such as the case in point.

摘要：

根据对解释神圣文本截然相反的观点，宗教在个人和公共生活中越来越重要和塑造力量，可以促进全球和平或普遍的冲突。因此，没有宗教之间的和平，就不可能实现国家之间的和平。《古兰经》中的剑节（9:5）被认为废除了许多提倡和平共处和宗教自由的经文。因此，穆斯林极端分子将这节经文作为与其他信仰的人互动的基础。本文采用语境的方法，通过分析其历史环境和语言环境，探讨如何理解这节经文，并将其正确含义与其他有关宗教自由和对话的经文进行比较。结论是上面的诗句，当在其环境范围内适当地阅读时，从不宽恕强制转换或好战。对作为指导方法工具的上下文视而不见是一个错误，有时会对人际关系产生严重影响，例如这种情况。
